Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Boss, I want a salary increase."

Murphy had been thinking about this sentence for a long time.

Today, he finally plucked up the courage to speak out.

Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Murphy: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"me……"

Murphy was very afraid of Chen Zhao, very afraid.

And he also knows that a job with a monthly salary of $10,000 is not that easy to find.

With an annual income of 120,000 US dollars, it is considered a high-paying profession anywhere.

"Isn't the salary I paid you high enough?" Chen Zhao's tone was a little sinister: "Or have you forgotten that I went deep into the underground demon's lair to rescue you."

Murphy was so frightened by Chen Zhao's momentum that he almost cried.

"Boss, I don't want it anymore...I don't dare anymore."

"Tell me why you suddenly want a salary increase." Chen Zhao said.

"I have a girlfriend." Murphy said with his head lowered.

Is this a reason? In Chen Zhao's view, this is not a reason at all.

A monthly income of US$10,000 is enough even if he wants to go out and play every day.

"Then what?" Chen Zhao still asked calmly.

"My expenses are a little high," Murphy said.

Chen Zhao frowned. Chen Zhao would let Murphy go in the first place because this kid was too innocent.

He looks like an adult, but because of his closed living environment since childhood, Murphy has had little contact with the outside world.

This also caused Murphy to become somewhat withdrawn and naive.

So Chen Zhao was very curious about what kind of love Murphy was playing. The income of $10,000 a month was not enough for him to fall in love.

"Where do you usually go on dates?"

"Well...she is a Hollywood star, so she cannot be exposed...When we have free time, we usually go out to sea or book a restaurant to prevent reporters from sneaking in."

"Oh, you also know that I know a great director. Tell me her name, and maybe I can help introduce a role to her." Chen Zhao said.

"But...she said she couldn't reveal her name at will." Murphy said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Chen Zhao took a deep breath. He was now 80% sure that he believed in his judgment. This child was deceived.

But can I say it directly?

They say women in love become stupid.

In fact, this sentence also applies to men.

Especially a simple little man like Murphy.

He won't believe his own words.

"I will consider your request," Chen Zhao said.

"Then do you agree or not?"

"I said I would consider it, do you want me to make a decision now? Are you sure you want to get the answer now?" Chen Zhao's tone suddenly turned cold.

Murphy was so afraid of Chen Zhao that he lowered his head and did not dare to look into Chen Zhao's eyes.

Chen Zhao then returned to the villa, but at this time Chen Zhao had no intention of sleeping.

Instead, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of Murphy's young and beautiful mother, Agnes.

"Hello, I'm Chen Zhao."

"Is it you? What do you mean by calling me now? Do you know that for a woman, adequate sleep is needed to maintain long-term youthfulness and beauty?"

"As a vampire, you can just find a few more people to suck blood. And isn't it your activity time at night?" Chen Zhao said disapprovingly.

"Tell me what's going on." Agnes said dissatisfied.

"Your son just asked me for a salary increase."

"Oh, I didn't expect him to have such courage."

Even Agnes, the mother, couldn't stand Murphy's cowardice, and his tone was quite contemptuous.

Agnes actually doesn't care much about Murphy's salary.

What she cares about is Murphy's growth.

"But I don't agree." Chen Zhao said.

"Oh, you just called me for this kind of thing?" Agnes said dissatisfied.

"No, I suspect he was deceived." Chen Zhao said.

Agnes, who had originally spoken in an understated tone, instantly lost her composure.

"What did you say? Who dares to deceive our Dracula family?"

"I don't know. There is only a little bit of information from Murphy's mouth, but it has not been confirmed yet."

Murphy said he was Chen Zhao's employee, rather than a junior.

Chen Zhao helped Agnes look after and educate Murphy.

What Chen Zhao values ​​​​is the Dracula family behind Murphy.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is not a bad thing.

"Then please help me check it out."

"Don't you come by yourself? You are his mother."

"No time..." Agnes said.

After communicating with Agnes, Chen Zhao reluctantly accepted this bad thing.

Originally, he was too lazy to ask, just thinking about leaving the bad thing to Murphy's mother.

As a result, Agnes left the matter to him again.

…

The next day——

"Hey, Mr. Chen, are you free today?" Denver called Chen Zhao.

"What's the matter?" Chen Zhao asked.

"The brewery is going to recruit several managers. If it's convenient for you, come over and interview together." Denver showed his attitude clearly and gave Chen Zhao enough respect.

Now the brewery has almost recruited all its ordinary employees, all of whom are residents of Dashan Town.

However, it is impossible for the management to recruit residents of Dashan Town. After all, Chen Zhao and the town government are still a bit dirty.

If even the management are residents of Dashan Town, they are likely to be controlled by others if there is a conflict of interest in the future.

Therefore, after discussing with Denver, Chen Zhao decided to expand the scope of recruitment.

People from Dashan Town can also come for interviews, but only Chen Zhao and Denver have the final say on whether they can become management.

Unless there are really people in Dashan Town who are essential for the brewery, Chen Zhao and Denver will not consider the residents of Dashan Town.

The only one who can be considered a high-level person is Bant, the production director.

However, based on the relationship between Chen Zhao and Bant, if there is a conflict with the town government, Bant will definitely side with him.

This has nothing to do with profit, it's purely because of Bant's character.

The brewery has now started production, but due to the lack of management, many things have to be done by Denver himself.

This is not possible, so before the beer can be officially put on the shelves, we must find management at all levels.

Apart from Denver and Chen Zhao, the only interviewers today were Bant.

Denver has been in the newspaper before, so there are quite a few people coming for interviews.

From product managers to department heads, everyone needs to be recruited.

I interviewed more than a dozen people in the morning, two of whom made decisions on the spot, and the others needed further consideration.

The interview continued in the afternoon, and the first person who came in was a slightly fat man in his forties.

However, this man didn't look very proud of his clothes, and his clothes were a bit old.

Chen Zhao looked at this man and felt that he looked familiar. Where had he seen this man before?

When the man saw Chen Zhao, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head.

He also knows himself!
